Long weekends 2027

5 times a public holiday lies close to a weekend – with a little leave it becomes a long weekend:

Take leave	Off	Days of leave	Days off	Ratio	Occasion
Mon 22 Feb	20 Feb – 23 Feb 2027	1	4	4	Defender of the Fatherland Day
Wed 24 Feb, Thu 25 Feb, Fri 26 Feb	23 Feb – 28 Feb 2027	3	6	2	Defender of the Fatherland Day
Tue 9 Mar, Wed 10 Mar, Thu 11 Mar, Fri 12 Mar	6 Mar – 14 Mar 2027	4	9	2.3	International Women's Day
Mon 1 Nov, Tue 2 Nov, Wed 3 Nov	30 Oct – 4 Nov 2027	3	6	2	Unity Day
Fri 5 Nov	4 Nov – 7 Nov 2027	1	4	4	Unity Day

Counted are gaps of up to four working days between a public holiday and the weekend or another public holiday. "Ratio" = days off per day of leave. Weekends follow the local working week.

Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
